chrisp65 Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 programme cover for the next home game in a fortnight's time... people with a connection to the town and the football ground, from current players, ex players, a few regular supporters, Buffalo Bill, daleks, David Hughes (ex manager/ex Villa), Noddy Holder... something to get the locals working out who's missing (there's enough missing for a second similar cover) I think I've mentioned it before, but we appear to have tapped in to the dark world of football programme collectors. It's a modest earner, but every pound helps. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bannedfromHandV Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 I went to watch Warrington Town vs Hednesford on Saturday. Forgot how much fun watching football can be when you don't get ordered about by some tit in a high-vis jacket............you paid your £10 and that was it, do whatever you want within reason, walk and sit where you want, smoke and drink if you want........actually really enjoyed it. The actual football was pretty gash and I was looking at my phone when the only goal of the game went in but hey ho! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They won at Sutton the other week in a game that can only be described as being 'gritty'! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Another sunny Saturday so took myself down Sutton Coldfield Town FC or their match against high flying Spennymoor, who are 2nd (Sutton 21st) 1-0 to Sutton! Now out of the bottom 4 for the first time in months and even more impressive is that they have played the current top 4 at home in the last 2 months and won 3 and drew the other. Fortress Coles Lane! The IPA went down a blinkin' treat as well in the sun! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Big few days coming up for my local lot. The maths are set up that with 4 games of the season left, 2 wins means certain promotion, 3 wins means promoted as champions. We've a home game tomorrow against the team relegated and bottom of the league (yep, that's got banana skin written all over it) then another home game Tuesday evening against a mid table team with nothing much to play for, they're going to finish somewhere between 8th n 12th. If we get promoted, that'll be 3 promotions in 4 seasons since being fan owned. Not too shabby. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Sutton lost 3-2 today at home to Matlock Town. In all honesty, that result flattered Sutton, they were very much second best. Corby's win means we are back in the relegation zone with 2 games to go. Monday at home to Halesowen is a must win now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 To set the scene for yesterday's game - when Town were going down the toilet a few years ago, Risca Utd brought along a banner that read 'bye bye, Risca seagulls shit on Barry Island'. This season, Risca are bottom of the league and already mathematically relegated. They have clearly gone in to money saving mode and were playing 3 or 4 of their academy kids. In a freak incident during the game yesterday there was a clash between a Risca defender and his own goalkeeper that resulted in the GK being subbed off. No first choice 'keeper and a bunch of kids. So, with no love lost between the clubs, and the potential of goal difference being like an extra point: 11:0 .... eleven **** nil. If anything it killed the atmosphere, only revived on the 9th goal going in and people chanting 'we want ten'. Absolute scenes. Most other teams and we'd have probably soft peddled from half time rather than risk an injury ahead of Tuesday evening's game. Due to the goal difference, we probably only need 2 points from our last three games. 3 points from 3 games and guaranteed promotion. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Sutton 1-0 today against Halesowen but Corby also won so Royals remain in bottom 4 going into final game and have to hope Corby don't win their final game as their GD is better. Richard Sneekes is Sutton manager now btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're at Workington, who are decent, plus our away form is shit. Recent form is decent (19 points from last 11 games) but we were too poor earlier in the season. Sneekes has done a good job, hope he stays if they go down. Was going to go down today but hangover ruined that! Went Saturday against Matlock and they were outclassed. Did you go today? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Went to Walsall-Swindon instead but have been following Sutton's results a lot more closely since they finally got promoted after 30 odd years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've showed in recent months that they can compete in this league but may be too little too late. if they are relegated I hope the squad sticks together. Plus I hope the attendances stay as they are as they have improved this year. Over 300 in the last 2 games, which is great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 (edited) Sutton Coldfield Town FC survive! Grafted for a 0-0 draw at top half side Workington, while Corby, who only needed to match Sutton's result lost at Coalville. Up the Royals!

Xela Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 (edited) I took in Nuneaton v FC United today. Beers in the sun, electric atmosphere with the FC fans in the terrace and a 4-1 win for FC. Wonderful stuff I was next to one of the flags in this clip... Edited April 22, 2017 by Xela Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
